Elounda is really a combination of several villages which have effectively merged.The whole area is a particularly scenic setting for an Elounda holiday and although this former fishing village has grown to become an established favourite Crete holiday destination, it still possesses a certain relaxed charm and an attractive mix of facilities, old and modern areas, and a vibrant square and busy appealing harbour.
